Easy Kohlrabi Curry – A Light & Flavourful Vegetarian Dish
This easy kohlrabi curry is a simple yet flavourful dish that’s perfect for a cosy meal. The creamy sauce brings out the natural sweetness of the kohlrabi, and the best part? The flavours get even better the next day! Served with fluffy rice and warm naan, it’s a satisfying, fuss-free dinner that feels both nourishing and comforting.
One of the best things about this curry is how easy it is to adjust to your taste. Whether you prefer a mild, fragrant spice or something with a bit more kick, you can tweak the heat by choosing a curry powder that suits you. I love using medium curry powder, as it pairs beautifully with the crisp texture and light flavour of kohlrabi. The balance of warming spices and creamy sauce makes every bite rich yet fresh.
I only discovered kohlrabi recently, but it’s quickly become one of my favourites. With its mild, slightly sweet flavour and crunchy texture, it’s so versatile—great in salads when raw, but also wonderful when cooked, like in this curry. If you haven’t tried it yet, this is a delicious way to start!
🌱 MAKE IT VEGAN : For a vegan-friendly version, simply swap out the yoghurt for coconut milk or a plant-based alternative.
However you make it, this dish is proof that simple, wholesome ingredients can come together to create something truly delicious. Perfect for an easy weeknight meal or batch cooking for.

I loved it and it was easy to do. I used green lentils rather than chickpeas and it still worked well.
So glad you liked it. Nice idea to use lentils. x
